... and don't forget that they have plenty of lube at the ready as well.

With the exception of the UK and the US, who had the gear to take on Germany during WWII? Everybody else in Europe was either overrun or placated the Nazi's. The Ruskies only responded violently after the Blitz reached the outskirts of Moscow. If Hitler had only sent in the panzer's about three months earlier...

Europe is a lost cause. If anybody should stand up against the Islamic threat, they will be branded as the bad guys and be bombed (Serbia, Bosnia).

I hate to tell you this, but in 1940 both the UK and the US were woefully unprepared to take on Hitler. The UK didn't have enough rifles, let alone airplanes, tanks, trucks, boats, ships, etc to pose a serious threat to Hitlers plans.

In the US, recruits were marching around with broomsticks because of a lack of military rifles.

It took about 3 years for the US and UK to begin making any serious headway against the Nazi war machine.
